<\/li>\nOne influencer who might be a victim of the influencer recession is Jools Lebron, the creator of the “very demure, very mindful.” She started a GoFundMe for $45,000 of dentistry. What pissed people off, though, is that Lebron said in her now-deleted TikTok<\/a>, “I don’t need a job. Like, you know what I mean?” Previously, Lebron revealed that she made over $500,000 from the meme and regularly posts videos of her expensive wig and doll collections. She deleted<\/a> her GoFundMe after the backlash. In the past, she has done GoFundMes for a car, a hospital visit, a trip to see Beyonce, and money to get stable.<\/li>\n OpenAI is apparently paying influencers out the ass, though, since several TikTok-famous nobodies went on a luxury brand trip this week that it sponsored. OpenAI called it “Summer Club.” For a company that seems hellbent on depleting the earth, the event was oddly environmentally focused, featuring farm-to-table dinners and beekeeping workshops. The influencers stayed in suites that start at $2,000 per night. In an economy where AI is using up water and putting artists (and other influencers) out of work, you can imagine that TikTok was not thrilled.\n You might notice that most of the influencers on the trip were female. Some commentators theorize that this is a deliberate strategy by OpenAI to preemptively accuse critics of misogyny. So, if you shit on the influencers for supporting OpenAi, they can turn around and say that you are anti-women because you don’t support women or whatever.<\/p>\n
